A rare pink hippopotamus stood out while taking a dip with a much darker skinned herd at Kenya’s Masai Mara national reserve.
Some experts believe that the animal’s pink colouring was due to a skin condition while some believe that it is an albino.
Regardless of what causes the hippo’s skin to be different, people of certain age, seeing such is nothing new. A pink puppet hippo from classic ITV children’s TV series, Rainbow, has entertained thousands of kids from 1972 to 1992.
